In Australia you can experience the eighth wonder of the world - The Great Barrier Reef; or climb the world’s biggest monolith - Ayers Rock; walk through the lush beauty of the World Heritage rainforest; witness ancient Aboriginal culture and ceremonies; take in a world class performance at the beautiful Sydney Opera House or capitalize on the strength of the US dollar in world class shopping arcades.

And the food! Sample some of the finest seafood fare in wonderful harbor or seaside settings. Try some Roast Lamb, or the great icon - the Aussie Meat Pie! Because of Australia’s rich and varied cultural history, the fabulous cuisine reflects many of these influences - Thai, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian, or just plain “Pub Grub”. And to complement these dishes you can select from the wide range of award winning Australian wines.

Australian people or “Aussies” will make you feel most welcome right from the moment you arrive. Renowned for their friendly and helpful dispositions, their “she’ll be right Mate” attitude is contagious and you will soon be unwinding and enjoying the fun and a few laughs! You will even pick up the local lingo before you know it!

Take the time to find the local wildlife. Many parks have areas where you can hand feed kangaroos and pet a Koala.

Newmans offers many travel options; self drive, motorhome, trains, and flights which can be combined with a wide range of accommodation and sightseeing options. Try any of the myriad of activities available, from taking a camel to dinner to touring on a Harley Davidson; from strolling through history to capturing news as it happens; from silently watching native animals to taking in the vibrant night-life.

What a delightfully varied destination… different in so many ways, but similar in so many others. Australia is a safe destination, where they speak English - even if they have adapted it a little! With so many new sights and sounds to be explored and savored, it really is time to go NOW!
